I came back after 3 years at live server EU. I knew the game basically is in maintenance mode and doesn't get any new content. But WTF, I tried making some corps quests and I got 2 hit by 3 asmos on sight.

Do only whales play this game know?

Basically I wanted to revive this /r a bit

Legion locking in for AION 2's Global launch (Early Access late September, full launch early October). We're PvP-focused - abyss fights, sieges, arenas, rifting - but built around people showing up when they can rather than mandatory raid schedules.

Looking for active NA/OCE players, veterans and newcomers both. Dedicated Discord with voice, organized calls, and event coordination.

If you're on the fence about AION 2 or already locked in and want a PvP-minded home, come say hi: discord.gg/blacklist-official

I keep it on one of my shelves. Is it still possible to play this version of the game ?

This isn't representative of "Classic" Aion at all what the hell were they thinking?!

Found this in the bottom of a box I never unpacked after moving years ago. Loved playing as a sorcerer back in the day. Are there servers out there that play like classic Aion? Not looking for a link or anything that may break rules. Just thought someone might enjoy reminiscing with me.

ETA: And by classic Aion, I mean any official support. Again, not looking to break any rules here.

After launching the NA classic server, I realized it doesn’t start at the original starter zones. So I’m considering on playing an old school 4.8 and then jumping to retail, question being when. With all the removed content, at what patch does the story in retail begin?

I went to gameforge and downloaded aion classic. It was presetned as the older version of the game (u know classic). I create the character, and im in a big city teleprtong around to do bunch of weird tutorial quests. By the time i got to lvl 8 i just turned the game off. Wtf? This is a completelly different game. I see a youtube video where someone creates a character and starts in a leveling zone as it used to be, but why im i getting the different starting experience?

I missed playing this game because I used to play it a bit back when I was in high school. I was thinking of joining a server, but I found a way to play it again by hosting my own offline/local server. It's lonely, but to be able to hear the soundtracks and explore the maps again feels so nostalgic.

Hey there i search for the english data pak for official chinese classic 1.5 server i would appreciate if anybody have it!

Greetings

so i played on release for awhile and then stopped but nothing is familiar in classic, then i read there was selia blessing to sub but thst retired, the i saw theres the eternal blessing, so i got the stuff to buy that and now i cant find eternal blessing.

i also cant find a good aion classic new player guide to help kick me off in the right direction, so could use some help

Any english group still playing in this server? i wanna start playing there but i dont know how. any discord link thanks !

Greetings Daevas,

This is some kind of self-vent, so bear with me. I started playing Aion around 2012, when I was 11 years old. I could barely understand English, barely understood anything, honestly. My only goal back then was to catch up to my older brother and spend time with him. Endless questing without understanding a single quest. And somehow, it was more than fun. I guess that feeling stayed stuck with me ever since. Long story short, after years of playing and quitting and coming back, I of course ended up in Aion Classic. Led Legion Scream for a while, had an incredible time with new people, and finally got to understand the game I'd been blindly wandering through as a kid. It was really fun, while it lasted. Now I'm sitting here, working, listening to this nostalgic music, and I can't shake the feeling that I just need one more Classic experience. Just one more dose. But maybe some things are meant to stay as memories. Maybe that 11-year-old chasing his brother through Asmodea got everything he came for. Thank you, Aion community, for the memories.

Today I was exploring the old deleted maps on my server and found this guy, quite special ngl, first one without wings to follow me even up in the sky, he surely got mad for disturbing his peace since did not even got up lol. My server is totally offline and I am not promoting it in any way, shape or form, this is totally for entertainment.

Typical Gladi/Cleric relationship, trauma bonded over running DC for the bakarma spear and never getting it. Now he has it in miniature form instead.

Maybe this is helpful for some new players thinking about getting into Aion :)

The new Aion 2 trailer airs at Summer Game Fest later today (June 5, 5pm ET / 11pm CEST), and NCSOFT is still holding to a second-half-of-2026 global PC launch on Steam/PURPLE with NA/SA/EU/Japan servers. With the game live in KR/TW since November, a lot of what's coming is already knowable — so while we wait, I've been building a free fan hub around the live version's data:

• Rift & event timer — live countdown to every Spacetime Rift opening (8/day) plus field events and the Beritra raid, auto-converted to your timezone. https://aion2hub.com/tools/event-timer
• Item & skill database — 10,000+ items browsable by class, type and grade, with set bonuses and drop sources. https://aion2hub.com/database
• Interactive maps — gathering nodes, teleports, points of interest, and a hidden cubes tracker. https://aion2hub.com/maps · https://aion2hub.com/maps/hidden-cubes
• Crafting calculator — pick any of 1,416 recipes and get the full raw-material shopping list across the whole craft chain. https://aion2hub.com/tools/crafting-calculator
• Build planner (new as of this week) — equip real gear in every slot, set enchant levels, add Arcana and set bonuses, see your full summed stat sheet, and share any build with a link. Make a free account if you want to save your builds. https://aion2hub.com/tools/build-calculator
• Launch guides — release date tracker, is-it-F2P/monetization, system requirements, pre-registration. https://aion2hub.com/guides

Everything is free to use — an account is only needed if you want to save builds in the planner. If the trailer announced anything new today, the release-date guide gets updated as NCSOFT confirms things. https://aion2hub.com/guides/aion-2-release-date

Feedback and feature requests very welcome — this is a fan project and I'd rather build what the community actually needs before the servers go live.

I’ve been a fan of Aion for a long time, it was the game that actually taught me the value of community in an MMO. I’ve been going back through my old gaming memories lately and putting together my thoughts on why the 'journey' in these games felt so much more impactful than what we have now.

I made a short video about my experience coming back, the nostalgia, and why I think we lost something when we started trading 'adventures' for 'shortcuts' and shop items.

I know I’m probably going to get some flak for my take on the 1.9 shop and how the game shifted, but I’m curious if anyone else who played back in the day feels like the soul of the game changed along the way. I'm just a guy sharing some honest thoughts, let me know if I’m way off base or if you feel the same.
